1. Pantera
Note: Pantera and Tigress need to be adopted as a pair.
Pantera's Personality
DOB: 3/31/26
Read more about Pantera
Pantera is a little panther. She has a sleek and shiny black coat - perfect for petting. Like her sister, Tigress, Pantera is VERY friendly, affectionate, curious and adventurous. She LOVES people and runs to greet you when you enter her space. She is not shy one bit. Pantera doesn't have a care in the world - she settled into her foster home immediately. When she's done playing, she LOVES being petted, curls up by your side and immediately turns on her purr motor. She is easy to pick up and carry around although if she's in playmode, she will wiggle for you to put her down so she can chase all of the imaginary things in her world.
Pantera ADORES her sister, Tigress (posted separately) - her partner in crime! They love to play together - chasing and wrestling with each other. They often sleep curled up next to each other and sometimes groom each other demonstrating their bond. Turn on a battery operated toy and she will be occupied for a long time. When Pantera is not playing or snoozing, she loves sitting in the window and watching the world go by.
What Type of Home They Need
These sisters need a forever home where they have plenty of room to run around and explore. They also need plenty of love and affection. They will do best in a home with more than one person because they have so much energy. A family with older kids (about 8 years or older) would be great to keep them entertained!
Where They Came From
The girls came from a loving home where their family asked for help finding them a home together.
2. Tigress

3. Ginger
Note: Ginger initially tested positive for feline leukemia (FELV) (antigen test). Two subsequent tests are negative (antigen, PCR). In veterinary diagnostics,"cryptic negative” results strongly suggest: either the initial test was a “false positive” or the cat's immune system successfully “cleared” the virus. Additional information available.
Ginger's Personality
Estimated DOB: 12/1/2025
Read more about Ginger
Ginger is a sweet, curious girl, both shy and brave. A devoted “Velcro kitty,” she stays close to her favorite humans, following you around, and settling nearby to see what you’re doing. After you shower, you may find her curled up on the bathmat—just before she climbs into the tub to investigate. Ginger is cautious around new people at first, but once she knows you, she greets you at every turn. And, even though Ginger loves being near her people, she easily entertains herself with interactive toys while her humans are busy, asleep, or away from home.
Ginger trills to herself while exploring and playing and softly meows when she wants something. After a nap, she loves a long stretch and a roll, looking up at you upside down with her expressive mint-green eyes. Ginger enjoys cheek rubs, chin scratches, petting and brushing. She rubs against your legs with her tail held high to show affection—or to remind you it’s mealtime!
Ginger’s playful antics will make you smile. She ducks into her tunnels, convinced she’s hidden, before pouncing on her pink mouse or chasing a laser dot or battery-powered toy. This clever kitty also enjoys food puzzles and watching birds and squirrels on CatTV. When she’s finished supervising you or playing, Ginger enjoys snoozing in a cozy spot or watching the world from her window perch.
Type of Home Ginger Needs
Ginger needs loving, gentle people who know how to help her feel safe and give her a little time to settle in. She needs a cozy hiding place at first where she can retreat while building confidence. Once she feels secure, her curiosity leads her to explore and enjoy her entire domain. She needs a quieter home with no young children or other pets now or in the future.
Where Ginger Came From
Ginger was born outdoors and initially considered a “community cat.” With help from a kind family, this brave little girl survived a cold, snowy winter. She gave birth to three kittens (all rescued and adopted), when she was just a few months old herself! While still living outdoors, Ginger sadly endured a neck wound that developed into an abscess. Along the way, it was discovered Ginger is a sweet, social girl who didn’t belong outdoors. After a difficult beginning, Ginger is ready for a forever home where she feels safe, loved, and cherished.

4. Mango
Mango's Personality
DOB: 1/1/26
Note: Mango NEEDS a young, playful MALE cat buddy in his forever home.
Mango is a very handsome orange and white tabby with big green eyes. He is a social and playful guy who loves being around people. Mango trots over to greet everyone who comes his way, stranger or not. He settles in for a nap on a warm lap (or chest if you’re horizontal) once he's done playing or exploring. He likes being carried around for short periods of time and is quick to purr.
Read more about Mango
Mango enjoys being petted, but like many cats, lets you know when he has had enough. The same goes with playing. He chases a mouse on a string, bats a ball around the floor, or plays with interactive toys for a while, but then walks away like he has better things to do! Mango can get a little over stimulated when petting or when you walk by - he may grab your leg. This tells us he needs plenty of interaction - activity around him, toys to play with and a kitty friend.
Mango loves his cat tree and spends hours on the top perch napping or looking out the window. He also loves running water and likes to stand outside the bathroom to let you know he wants in - so he can jump up on the counter and drink while not caring that he is immersing his head in the water getting soaking wet!
What Type of Home Mango Needs
Mango needs a home with multiple people who are available to hang out with him. He is not demanding, but likes to be near people. Like most young male cats, Mango needs a like-minded male kitty to bond and play with. Mango sometimes nips or grabs your hands to let you know he has had enough petting or playing or tries to get your attention. This behavior will subside once he has a cat buddy to occupy his time. He may do ok with an older cat-savvy child (over about 12 years of age) as long as he also has a cat buddy to play with. No young children now or in the future.
Where Mango Came From
Mango was a stray kitty who was trying to get inside an office building when a kind woman encountered him outdoors. Of course, this kitty - only about 6 months old at the time - had no business being outdoors. She brought him indoors for safekeeping and when nobody claimed him, he was transferred to SPCA's care.

Adopting a cat in Glen Echo
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
